But the biggest concern over the street food is the hygiene and cleanliness, though these vendors have started taking food safety and hygiene measures over the time but you are still not sure. The streets are contaminated and the food prepared in such surrounding is bound to be an invite for diseases.

  • For Bhalla: Soak the split green moong beans/daal and de-husked urad beans/daal overnight in water
  • In morning wash nicely rubbing them so that some of the husk of green moong daal washes away

  • Once you achieve a nice batter. Take it out in a big bowl and keep it covered. Let it rest for 5-7 hours.
  • After 5-7 hours your batter will rise and would look like foam.That’s the ideal texture
  • Now add asafoetida/hing, salt and baking soda to it and mix
  • Now take silicon muffin moulds and grease them with some oil.

  • Now take buttermilk in a bowl and add ½ cup water to it
  • Whenever you feel like enjoying these yummy Low Fat, Non-Fried Dahi Bhalla, you can rinse them and assemble with curd, tamarind chutney and spices.
